I think you need to think of all the things Jesus preached. It isn't just that he existed. We need to obey his teachings. It is his teachings that lead us where we want to go.

[34] But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sad'ducees, they came together.
[35] And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, to test him.
[36] "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?"
[37] And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all yourheart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.
[38] This is the great and first commandment.
[39] And a second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
[40] On these two commandments depend all the law and the prophets." Matt 22:34-40 RSV

Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

John 5:39-40
[SUP]39 [/SUP]Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
[SUP]40 [/SUP]And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.

John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.


What does Paul say about this?

Galatians 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Are we receiving the full gospel message in Christianity? Is the message the complete Gospel? Are we preaching what Jesus Preached and said to preach?

I have been asked these questions and have searched to find if I am. What did Jesus actually preach?
The only thing I can find that Jesus preached was the Kingdom of God also called the Kingdom of Heaven which He also told his Disciples to go out preaching. With that being said what is the Kingdom of God. Is the Gospel only Jesus himself or more?

Read the Bible. That is the gospel message.

Well we must start with the understanding that the "whole counsel" of the gospel of Jesus Christ was entrusted to Paul and its through His epistles the "gospel" is revealed in its fullness.

Correct.
And only his true followers understood.
The ones that were there to get fed, or who weren't right at heart, did not understand the parables he spoke.
The kingdom of the heavens is like... Matthew 13.

were they parables a mystical story or truth. Only spoken in that way that having ears they could not hear and eyes to see they could not see?

Paul speaking----
Acts 20:20---"And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you-------"
Acts 20:27---"For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God"

The Gospel is all Jesus is, said, and His will for all men.
All that is found from Genesis to Revelation.
If we leave anything out, we fail to preach the Gospel.

Yes ...The gospel needs goes way back ...since the fall of mankind in the garden of Eden we have been separated from our true purpose - fellowship with God and worship of God. But thanks to the Messiah Jesus' selfless act on the cross we can now be reconciled unto God and our purpose through faith.

How you have just tickled my heart, in such a wonderful way. You have spoken so much truth in such small words.
I have plans of a post that will fully discuss the Kingdom of God, but it will probably follow two or three post I am working on.

In the meantime, you can have a look at these posts. The scriptures are used extensively.:)

"I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life." That is what Jesus said. It is all about Jesus because Jesus, His Father, and the Spirit are one. What do you say to this?

Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Gospel in a single verse often referred to as the golden text of the bible.

For the cause of Christ

GAL. 3:8.
And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached
before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.

the Kingdom is the main message and certainly Christ calls those of every nation to be part
of that coming-Kingdom, so this is a very important branch...also the Law shall proceed from Zion',
this is how the Kingdom will be ruled...

Flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God, it is a Spiritual Rule...

Jesus' teachings are centered around the fact that He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. The whole Bible, from cover to cover, from Genesis to Revelation, is about Jesus. In the beginning He was. In the end He shall be. You will bow down to Him now or you will do so with broken legs later. You have been warned to never belittle the Son of God again. Jesus is the Great I Am. Jesus is all. Jesus is everything. Don't ever suggest otherwise again. Go back and reread the rules about Christian Chat again if need be.

The gospel is the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ- which we must obey. How do you obey the gospel? You die to yourself, you bury your old sinful self in the watery grave of baptism, and you rise a new creature alive with the Holy Spirit.

"With flames of fire (hell) God will take vengeance on those who (1) know not God, and (2) obey not the gospel of His Son."

Amen....

Except water baptism is a representation of what happened to believers when they received Christ. It doesn't happen at water baptism itself....if a person dies before they can get water baptized - they are still in Christ and are in fact born-again and are with Christ.

This can be clearly seen in Acts 10

Acts 10:43-47 (NASB)
[SUP]43 [/SUP] "Of Him all the prophets bear witness that through His name everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins."

[SUP]44 [/SUP] While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who were listening to the message.

[SUP]45 [/SUP] All the circumcised believers who came with Peter were amazed, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also.

[SUP]46 [/SUP] For they were hearing them speaking with tongues and exalting God. Then Peter answered,

[SUP]47 [/SUP] "Surely no one can refuse the water for these to be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit just as we did, can he?"

Paul takes about this too in Ephesians.

Ephesians 1:13 (NASB)
[SUP]13 [/SUP] In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise,

The good news of Gods kingdom will be preached as a witness to all nations, then the end will come.
Jesus started this work, he sent his followers out by two, house to house, city to city. The good news is this--Jesus sacrificed a perfect mortal existence and handed that sacrifice to his God and Father in heaven to buy back what Adam had lost for mankind.
Gods word teaches in his kingdom--- food for all--- the wolf will lay down with the lion( harmony amongst all of Gods creatures)-- no more sickness, diseases, cancer, hatred, war, greed, coveting, drunkenness, drug addiction, etc,etc,etc no mourning, outcries or pain, even no more death. Gods king will do away with all mortal govts( Dan 2:44) --this is the new earth( not a new planet-a new system of things)
